CulturaClassica is a website (Spanish language) that promotes living language approaches to learning Latin and Greek. Some of their members re-wrote Rouse’s “Greek Boy.”
The book came out a year ago and is sold for 16 Euro.
The preview pages show some truly wonderful artwork done specially for the book. It looks like they’ve simplified the story a bit, a good thing.

Connected to this book is a wikispaces spot for developing materials connected to the book. Each lesson has a link on this page.

The book of Ancient Greek dialogues on the right-hand side of that page (also @ 16 Euros) looks not so bad either.Paul-Nitz wrote:See following link:

Yes, I thought so, too. I sent them an email asking how to purchase a book (I don't know Spanish) and for a description (in English) of the dialogues book.

Re: Rouse: A Greek Boy at Home
There was another book of dialogues that showed up in that slide-show presentation. I think it was Blackie's.
Here is a link to a thread on Blackie's dialogues.

Hopefully they'll reply soon.Paul-Nitz wrote:Yes, I thought so, too. I sent them an email asking how to purchase a book (I don't know Spanish) and for a description (in English) of the dialogues book.
Their website says that for non-Spanish transactions, to email them and ask for terms and methods of payment.
It also says that the prices on the website are for Spanish-speaking regions.
I hope that doesn't mean they have other prices for other countries
